i have a blocked phone...sometimes i would like to dial *82 before a number and i'd like to do it as a shortcut as i don't want my # unblocked for everyone...is there a way to do this?

also....on another matter, sometimes i get a call from someone who does have a phone listing in my book with a *82 in front of it...if they dial me, it obviously doesn't have a *82 so their number comes up but not their name...it used to come up in my verizon phone with the person's name, anyway around this?

thanks!

As for block/unblocking your number, the only option I know of is getting into the call log (press the send key in your home screen), and select options (by presseing the blackberry button), and going into "General Options>Restrict my Identity"

With regards to your 2nd question: I think it might have something to do with smart dialing. The *82 may be treated by the phone as extra numbers in front of a normal 10-digit phone number. So the phone entry and the number coming in may not directly match up. That's usually the issue when the number but not the name shows up on caller ID.
